FreeBSD website redesign...

[fraxamo]

Any thoughts on the FreeBSD website redesign?

"Powerful" is so meaningless.

 

[AlfredoLlaquet]

Very cute. It says at the end, "Made with by the FreeBSD Community," so I can only say that it's very cute.

plausible.io, i didn't consent.

 

[cracauer@]

Not sure I would have put "newsgroups" in there.

 

[elgrande]

I miss Beastie, it is only there on the bottom...

 

[Juronski]

Please revert to the old design, please.

Google analytics... What information do they get? All home ip's to freebsd.org?

The FreeBSD frontpage seems terribly confused and somewhat light on content. Who is it for exactly? Even the old site was not very good.

Dang, I thought they got hacked or someone applied AI code.
Now if they move "latest news, upcoming events press and security advisories" to right under the "download" it would be tolerable.

"Powerful" is so meaningless.

I think it's okay, but I've been thinking about a slogan I'd like, just for fun, and I've come up with "FreeBSD. The High-performance Operating System for New and Old Computers. Free and Open Source."

What information do they get?

Unique visitors and pageviews
Traffic sources (referrers, search, social, campaigns)
Top pages (including entry and exit pages)
Countries, devices, browsers, and operating systems
Goals and conversions
Revenue tracking (for ecommerce)

It has a "dark mode," but it seems that it only works in the homepage. I wouldn't have added it if it was only going to work in the homepage, TBH,

Very good, I like it and like the dark color scheme (I'm not tested if it based on the system settings but I guess it enabled: dark/light/system)

At firt seen, without using it looks good, but after 3 minutes remember this "cell phone" interface that start windows and follow with gnome 3/4 themes or applications
prefer the old one

A website always has the IP addresses of its visitors.

Official ML archives has "invert" button at the top of each pages.
It would be nice if it appears at the bottom, too.

For toppage, it would be nice if it has ALT text (or baloon help) for what it does, and appears at the top, too.

I don't think the old site was perfect, but it was a lot better than whatever this was supposed to be... Looks to me like a rip of the Void Linux homepage (note 2x3 of features).

genuinely what the FUCK is this··· it looks like a mockup someone made in like half an hour or so, it doesn't even look like an OS' website, rather some tech service that no one has ever heard of before

yeah even that website looks far better than this one··· who the hell approved this redesign, i'm so disappointed

 

[ruby R53]

oh my god i didn't even realize Beastie completely lost its shading, even my boy has been nerfed

 

[hedwards]

I miss Beastie, it is only there on the bottom...

I do too, the sorts of people that took issue with the older character aren't the sort that have ever contributed positively to a project.

Is that ChatGPT design?
